  • Don't watch, just listen! Emperata Overture by Claude T. Smith!
    -----------------------------
    Emperata Overture, written in 1964, is one of Smith's most popular works. Composed in ABA form, Emperata Overture is developed from a motive presented in the opening fanfare by the trumpets and trombones. After a contrasting middle section, the principle theme is heard in a fugue which leads to a brilliant conclusion. (Babecka)

      5th Trombone? LUXURY! I had to play 13th sackbutt back in 1589 and if I missed a note the king would chop the queen's head off.

    I played this in high school band many times in the early 80's and absolutely love this song. I played alto sax. Thanks to my band teacher, Mr. Gilliland for such great music choices over my three years under him.

    I played this song (first clarinet, first chair) at the Georgia State Music Festival, when I was a junior in high school. Some of the best band members in the entire state attended, and this was our performance - in front of a couple thousand people in this amazing theater. I'll never forget this song!

    First chair trombone, Washington Irving Intermediate, Springfield, VA 7th & 8th grade, 1984/85. Played a Smith piece for Festival each year. Graded on a scale of 3 to 1, 1 being the best. We got straight 1's every festival playing Grade 5/6 music (what most HS play). It's been almost 40 years and I can still hum every part. Thank you Mr. Ben Pasquale. You were an AMAZING band teacher.

    My band is playing this and because of the school closing down, we have to record twelve consecutive measures by the end of the week. Keep in mind, we only just recently started it, so I’m listening to this so that I at least know what I’m doing somewhat

    I moved around a lot and it seemed I played this in each band! So even 40 years later it is one of my favorites. Imagine how excited I was when both my sons got to play it in high school!
